Modern Math Teaching: In this course, we will examine specific failings of current mathematical instructional models and, over a fast, three-week course, develop useful solutions to those problems using, among other things, multimedia and a classroom culture of curiosity.; Take this course: Begins April 7.

Story Problems Made Interesting: After introducing students to story problem stategies, students will be asked to write their own story problem(s). The problems must deal with real life situations. Fantasy worlds and silly situations are not allowed. Each student must also be able to solve their own problem(s). If the problems are not entered into a computer and saved on a disk by the students, then the teacher will compile groups of problems for the students to solve. The author's name of each problem should be attached to the problem. If a student needs help solving a problem, he/she is only allowed to ask the author of that problem for assistance.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics); By Tim Galliher.

Problem-centered lesson on the Pythagorean Theorem: This lesson is designed to help students give meaning to solving problems using the Pythagorean Theorem in a useful and meaningful situation.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics); By Brent Bustle.

Adding fractions with unlike denominators/The numbers tell LCD: Students will be able to find the Lowest Common Denominator by using prime factors. They will then add the fractions. This method was developed for students who have problems guessing and checking.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Wendi Keith.

Piggin' out with money: Students will work with money manipulatives to solve word problems that involve adding money amounts and making change. The lesson is introduced with the literature book, Pigs Will be Pigs. After solving the problems posed in the book, the students will work with partners to create their "pig problems". Assessment will require students to solve similar problems on a teacher made worksheet. When time allows, each student will have the opportunity to go to an Internet site to work with money problems and games.; Format: lesson plan (grade 3 Mathematics)

Estimating rational numbers: Students round fractions and mixed numbers to their closest whole number by first changing the rational numbers into decimal numbers.; Format: lesson plan (grade 4 Mathematics); By Doreen Castelloe.

Paired writing: Hoover and FDR: Taking on the persona of FDR and Hoover, students will write responses to citizens seeking help with real world problems.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Arts and Social Studies); By Angie Panel Holthausen.

An apple a day: Understanding halves and simple addition: This is a hands-on lesson which uses apples to introduce the concept of "half" and to teach simple addition. This lesson was taught to a group of 1st grade EC students.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Janet Acorn.

Powers of monomials: This lesson is a PowerPoint presentation of the Powers of Monomials. It speaks on the following rules: Product of Powers, Power of a Power.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By Clarissa Kelly.

Make math "bear"-able: The students will use teddy bear counters to explore addition and subtraction facts (1-10). Students will demonstrate an understanding of ordinal numbers by locating the position of their counters on their workmats.; Format: lesson plan (grade 1 Mathematics); By Nikki Gilmore.

Ecosystem problem solving: Students will apply their knowledge of ecosystems and the interdependence of plants and animals to creatively solve problems.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Science); By Kelley Turner.

Solving problems, writing solutions: In CareerStart lessons: Grade six, page 1.5; In this lesson for grade 6, students consider problems in the workplace and follow writing prompts to craft solutions.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 English Language Arts and Guidance); By Jennifer Brookshire and Julie McCann.

Fruit Loops with fractions: This activity provides access to using visual and hands-on practice in solving problems with fractions. By using cereal, each individual student will be able to work individually and as a group in using different methods of working with fractions, and practice their skills in addition, multiplication, division and subtraction. A prior knowledge of the basic multiplication tables and common multiples will be very advantageous in working through this activity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6 Mathematics); By Deanne Davis.

Graphing quadratic equations: This lesson will help students quickly graph a quadratic equation. It will also help them to understand the purpose of completing the square.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By Kathy Schadt.

Giving meaning to volume and surface area: This lesson is designed to help students give meaning to volume and surface area by solving problems using a meaningful situation rather than formulas.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics); By Grayson Wheatley.

Why problem-centered learning?: In Problem centered math, page 2; The world our students will live and work in will require them to gather, organize, and interpret data in the process of finding solutions to complex problems. Problem-centered learning creates a model where the student becomes the thinker.; By Mike Kestner.

Ohm's Law made easy with a spreadsheet: In this lesson, students will use math word problems to help them input information into a spreadsheet that will use Ohm's law to calculate current and resistance using common household appliance wattages.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Computer/Technology Skills, Mathematics, and Science); By Hilda Hamilton.

Solving workplace problems: Refining the use of argument: In CareerStart lessons: Grade eight, page 1.8; In this lesson plan, students are presented with two writing prompts that describe workplace problems. Students complete a graphic organizer to help them map out the problem-solving process.; Format: lesson plan (grade 8 English Language Arts); By Andrea Fedon, Gail Frank, and Cindy Neininger.

Multiplying polynomials: In this lesson, students apply their knowledge of distributive property to multiply polynomials. The process of multiplying by the FOIL method is developed. The English Language Development goals and objectives for this lesson are for a Novice High English Language Learner (ELL).; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 English Language Development and Mathematics); By Seth Beale and Wendy Sumner.

Rocket launch: Students will work individually and in collaborative pairs or groups to solve a rocket-launch problem. The pairs/groups will then present potential solutions to the class for discussion. Similar problems will then be solved and created by students.; Format: lesson plan (grade 5 Mathematics); By Ron Hann.

Math problems for grade 8 geometry: In Problem centered math, page 6; Problem sets in PDF format that address objectives of the Measurement and Geometry strands of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Mathematics, Grade 8.; By Grayson Wheatley.
